In Gangtou Village, the villagers had a good life for a few days after receiving the welfare benefits from the state for the last time, but they eventually returned to normal.
The villagers farmed the fields when they should, and fed the pigs when they should, and they still lived in such a quiet and indifferent state of life without fighting against the world.
However, recently, some strange things have happened in the mountains and forests near Gangtou Village. The villagers are a little afraid and dare not go up the mountain again.
After the busy farming season, some men gathered in small groups on the stone slope at the head of the village, squatting or sitting, puffing away smoke from dry tobacco pipes while bragging.
"You don't know, yesterday... I was cutting firewood, and suddenly I saw that the bushes were full of blood, and a wild boar was torn to pieces. I saw half of a leg. That leg could be so big, even bigger than mine.
They are both thick and long!" The man who spoke made gestures with his hands, with a look of amazement on his face: "I guess he was a big guy weighing at least four or five hundred pounds, but he was torn to pieces. I guess...it must have been a tiger.
of!"
"No way, we haven't seen a tiger here for a long time. I think it's a bear!"
"Hey, what the hell do you guys know? I've seen it with my own eyes!" Someone snorted disdainfully, immediately attracted the attention of everyone around him, and asked: "Li Mazi, who are you lying to? You said
Say, what did you see?"
Li Mazi slowly knocked on the pipe and knocked the ashes, and then said: "I dropped a few clips on the east slope of Shen Tomb Mountain the day before yesterday. I was going to collect them yesterday to see if I had any harvest. As a result, I saw
A huge black shadow, two or three meters high, flashed past in the woods. At that time, I was almost scared to death, but after a long time, it didn't bother me, so I went over to take a look, and found out...
...There is a bear trap I placed over there. The trap should have caught something, but it was snatched away by the black shadow. There was blood dripping near the trap. I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I ran back immediately...
"
"I just said it was a black bear. What you saw must be a black bear!" The person who said it was a bear immediately became excited.
Li Mazi let out a sigh and cursed: "Fart, that's definitely not a black bear. In my opinion, it must be some kind of monster! Because it left so fast and made no sound at all. It just whined like that.
It’s gone!”
"Fuck you, you are a monster... I think you were frightened!"
"Hahaha..." Everyone roared with laughter, and the atmosphere was cheerful.
At this time, someone looked up at the road at the end of the village and suddenly said, "Chen Yang, are you back again?"
Chen Yang just rushed back from Mount Tai and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Da Zhuang, if you miss me very much, then I will go to your house for dinner later."
"..." Da Zhuang immediately coughed dryly and said, "Oh, my distant cousin is getting married tomorrow and there will be no cooking at home today."
Chen Yang laughed and joked with the villagers for a while before arriving at Aunt Liu's house.
Aunt Liu glanced at him and said: "What kind of plane is that now? Is it really that fast? It came from Mount Tai so quickly."
"That's right, modern technology is very advanced. Not to mention airplanes, there are also spacecrafts that can reach the moon!"
Aunt Liu waved her hand and said, "Tell me if you have these, bring out the Nine-Yuan Grass."
"Do you want to take it now?" Chen Yang was a little surprised. Couldn't he take this Nine Yuan Grass when he breaks through the foundation building?
Aunt Liu said calmly: "Since you have unlocked the seal on the Nine Yuan Grass several days ago, then its medicinal effect has actually been lost. It has been five days, and if you don't deal with it anymore
, by the time you want to use it, I’m afraid it will have no effect.”
Chen Yang was immediately startled. Damn it, auntie, why didn’t you tell me earlier? In the previous video, from your tone, I thought I didn’t need to take care of this thing!
He quickly took out the wooden box containing the Nine Yuan Grass and handed it to Aunt Liu.
After Aunt Liu took it, she opened it, took a look, and nodded: "Well, it's not bad. Judging from its appearance, it should look like a middle-to-lower grade. It's enough for you to build a foundation."
After saying that, she stretched out her hand and touched the wooden box gently, and there seemed to be a faint green light that enveloped the wooden box. Then, she threw the wooden box back to Chen Yang: "Put it away, wait until it is done.
Once you get that golden elixir stage remnant soul, you can start building the foundation."
Chen Yang still threw the wooden box back into his pocket, and then asked: "Aunt Liu, when I just entered the village, I heard those idle people talking about the monster found in the forest. What's going on?
?”
"It's not the remnant soul." Aunt Liu said calmly: "It has been hiding in the nearby mountains and forests, not daring to get close, but not willing to leave. It was injured last time, and the remnant soul's body has returned
It must be replenished, so it hunts the wild beasts in the mountains and forests to absorb their essence and blood. Although it is not as good as humans, it is better than nothing. Anyway, the wild beasts in the mountains have been suffering recently."
Chen Yang was a little stunned and asked in surprise: "How could it be... I see that those villagers are still on the mountain, and I have met the remnant soul. It didn't attack these villagers?"
"Haha, it didn't dare." Aunt Liu smiled disdainfully: "At first, it probably wanted to test me, and it did want to attack the villagers. But after I whipped it, it didn't dare anymore. This
For several days, it kept testing, and finally found that as long as it didn't attack the villagers and didn't get close to the cave with the inscription of Hades, I wouldn't care about it, so it stayed in the forest."
Chen Yang couldn't laugh or cry, and finally understood that the remnant soul was really reluctant to give up the Hades Inscription, but it couldn't defeat Aunt Liu, so he kept testing Aunt Liu's bottom line. Finally, he found that as long as it did not harm the villagers and did not get close to the Hades Inscription, it would
fine.
This means that it can continue to stay nearby, but the Hades inscription still cannot be obtained...
Aunt Liu's hand is completely raising it, waiting for her to come back!
"Thank you Aunt Liu, then... let's kill it now? Then, seize its foundation and build it directly?" Chen Yang said with a smile.
However, Aunt Liu shook her head and said: "No, it's not possible now. Don't look at your state. You are depleted of Qi and blood and lack of energy. How can you build a foundation in this state?"
"Uh..." Chen Yang smiled bitterly and said, "I can't help it. This time in Mount Tai, the Yama Palace actually resurrected the souls of two ferocious beasts, Yongzhu and Chaos, and almost killed me. I had no choice but to
I took a pill that forcibly stimulated my potential, and the side effects were a bit serious."
Aunt Liu glanced at him and said, "Where is the vitality I left for you last time?"
